Angenette is Chantel’s brother Royal’s wife. She isn’t an American. She comes from the Philippines and she has had an easier time in being welcomed into this family than Pedro ever was. Pedro wasn’t an American either. He was a Dominican and his in-laws believe he married his wife just to get a visa. They didn’t trust his motives or that he loved Chantel and they have been taking it out on him since he got married. They always found something sinister about what he did or said. Pedro could do nothing right in their eyes. He was still married to Chantel and they were still making their marriage work, but it wasn’t good enough for her family and so seeing Angenette being welcomed so easily has to hurt.
Both Pedro and Chantel have said something about the way Agenette was being welcomed. They both thought it was unfair and at least one of them has accused Agenette of having sinister motives. Chantel didn’t trust her sister-in-law. She’s heard things from her brother that made her suspect Agenette was shopping for an American when she reached out to Royal online and that her meeting wasn’t as romantic as they made it seem. Chantel also wants the rest of her family to suspect Agenette as well. She just wasn’t happy with keeping her thoughts to herself. She had to talk to her mother and she tried to get her mother on board with her suspicions. Karen was one of the first people cast doubt on Pedro’s motives. And so it’s only fair that she do the same with Agenette.
Karen has also heard things from her son. Royal told his mother that Agenette was pregnant and that she had a miscarriage. He told his mother that suspected the baby wasn’t his. He didn’t really go into why that is and so Karen talked about it with Chantel. They both wanted to know why Royal didn’t trust his wife. Did Agenette do something? Is she flirtatious? Or did something actually happen? Royal didn’t explain why he doesn’t trust his wife. He goes around his family and he tells only half the story. His family also doesn’t really question him. They were afraid of pushing him away because they knew he would withdraw from them if he didn’t like what he was hearing and so they tried questioning Agenette.
Chantel questioned Agenette when they went dress shopping. Agenette needed a wedding dress and she invited both her mother-in-law and her sister-in-law along to help. Only they didn’t really help. They questioned her and Agenette actually broke down in tears with talking about it to the cameras. Agenette admitted what happened with her pregnancy. She said it was Royal’s baby and that he doesn’t believe it was his. He thinks she slept with someone in the Philippines. Agenette claimed she’s never cheated on her husband and she said she doesn’t know why he doesn’t trust her. It was also quite clear that he still doesn’t trust her. The miscarriage happened a while ago and Royal was still tracking her down and monitoring what she can or cannot do.
Royal did that with the girl’s night out. Chantel invited Agenette to a night out with her friends and they were all enjoying themselves when Royal appeared. He appeared and he grabbed his wife. He basically told Agenette that she was leaving with him. She was never given the opportunity to speak for herself and she just did what Royal told her to do. She does that a lot. Agenette would later claim that she was glad she left because she didn’t like the way Chantel was dancing, but she waited until the her husband said something first and that’s when she jumped in. Agenette and Royal’s marriage seemed to have issues. It’s unclear why they wanted to get married again and this time they were doing it in the Philippines.
The whole family traveled to the Philippines so that they could be there for the second ceremony. This was going to be the first time that anyone of them will meet Agenette’s family and both Agenette and Royal didn’t want a repeat of what happened with Pedro’s family. Pedro’s family and Chantel’s family hate each other. They’ve both said and done things that were too horrible to repeat. Chantel does not get along with her in-laws. She tries to stay away from them and she took pleasure in finding out about her sister-in-law Nicole’s situation. Nicole was dating a married man. Nicole and Pedro’s father was a married who lied and manipulated their mother and so everyone knew that Lydia would hate Nicole’s boyfriend Alejandro.
It was just Nicole that holding onto impossible hope. Nicole tried to tell her mother that her boyfriend is married and she thought it would go easier if she first said that Alejandro wasn’t like any of her exes. He worked in a cell phone store. He wasn’t in school or going to become a doctor. He was thinking of starting school, but he was going to be an older student and so right away Lydia called him a loser. She thought it was embarrassing that he didn’t have a degree. She said he wasn’t at Nicole’s level and Nicole became so upset with her mother that she didn’t stick around long enough to say the rest of her news. Nicole loves Alejandro. She doesn’t care that he works in a cell phone store or that he was lighter than her previous boyfriends or that he didn’t have a degree or that he was still married to her. She just wanted him.
Alejandro flew back to the Dominican Republic. He was from there originally and so he was returning home to meet Nicole’s mother. Nicole thought her mother would change her mind once she met Alejandro in person. Instead, her mother hated him practically on sight. Lydia was rude to Alejandro. She laughed at him for having so many pieces of luggage and she ignored the gifts he brought just for her. Lydia said he didn’t have the same mentality as her daughter. She didn’t care that Alejandro has just started school because Lydia saw him as less than and so she threw his stuff out of her place. And she was hoping he would go and stay gone.
And over in the Philippines, Agenette was showing another side to herself now that she’s confidently back home.
THE END!
